Valve used to hide secret links that redirect to hidden bonuses in their updates. Seeing the bottom of the page, we might want to check later if they dont add one on the crate, socks or maybe they even add some new prop on top of the firepalce (its kinda empty right now)

They havent done this in a while tho :(

now spy can sap buildings right after stabbing the engineer!

Holy shit those medic changes...

Here is a link to my vaccinator script which separates resistances onto separate keys (need to hit multiple times) that is usable in a competitive setting. Enjoy medic mains.

If you think that the bug is what made the reserve shooter OP you're sorely mistaken.

did some math and the switch speed nerfs on degreaser are relatively small, itll be noticeable on holster but easy enough to adjust to. the reduced number of airblasts probably wont be that bad either

the switch speed buffs along with the falloff buff and degreaser nerfs might make stock somewhat viable again, but mostly only if the airblast reduction really bothers you that uch

otherwise i REALLY dont like the shield charge debuff removal but that's about it

Nice one SeemsGood

all these changes are great (except wrap assassin and quickiebomb launcher buffs?) but valve still needs to fix the crit a cola for this game to be balanced

edit: and the atomizer, holy shit scout is retarded

damnit google

anyone speaks fluent latin here

Time to unban everything? (or almost everything)

That's part of lorem ipsum, just filler text that web developers use to have some content in a web element - it's commented out with <!-- --> because that container was just unused. Nothing significant / secret lol, just placeholder text

Biggest changes imo. Awesome update

It's part of lorem ipsum

EDIT: ninja'd by jerm

I wonder if the jarate/mad milk cooldown reduction stacks. Would be pretty insane to instantly get it back for extinguishing 5 teammates.

Also that phlog buff

reserve is still pyro's ez-mode weapon, not much changed there to justify an unban imo

pyro changes are cool, exactly sort of the changes I was hoping for since the reason everyone was terrified of nerfing pyro's bullshit was b/c his bullshit was all he had, so they're trying to give him other, less-bullshit positives to work w/

the crossbow change is neat as fuck, idk why they decided that weapon needed more reasons to be amazing but it's a cool little change regardless

concheror was already heavily underrated, double health regen is gonna be huge (assuming that the scaling when taking damage isn't too hefty)

Oh alright thanks for sharing knowledge for dummies like me o/

changes that will affect 6s+HL

- Base weapon switch speed changed from 0.67 seconds to 0.5 seconds
shotgun is now slightly better. Soldier and stock pyro probably benefit the most here. Passive secondaries like razorback and gunboats are now slightly less good, Shotgun pocket slightly better

- Upon spawning, friendly players will show an outline for 10 seconds
depends on how spies work with this, could be buggy

- No longer auto-fires when fully loaded. Shots can be held and released at will.
if you can holster it with 4 shots, its the new pocket meta

- When activating 'MMMPH', the taunting Pyro gains temporary invulnerability and immunity to knockback effects
free cap time if its still broken

- During setup time, ÜberCharge build rate is now increased by 3x
pre round krit stickies + uber or second kritz on PL/CP in HL.

- Engineer
slightly weaker in HL, spy gets a decent buff. Spy based pushes might happen now

It's moreso a phlog nerf tbh. The damage while taunting was negligible because of the reduction already. It was already best to get in position and hold damage till after the taunt anyway.

However, being knockbacked immediately gave you the kritz from your phlog taunt without waiting, so if you got airblasted or something, you immediately krit that pyro's face. Not being able to do that (and do that "tactically") is probably more of a nerf than a buff.

??????? There definitely could be more.

EDIT: nvm probably template, see pazer's post below

youre quoting a CSS file for data.

the odds of them not copying the CSS every single time they do an update is ridiculously slim.

accident gun is nerfed ty

I could seriously see this happening.

If there's a day 2, it's probably going to include new weapons or such. I doubt they would split up the balance changes into 2 days.

The 75% damage reduction wasn't enough to stop a heavy/scout from killing you, now you literally can't die. If they went from the original 90% to full invuln it wouldn't be a big deal but this change is. Also you can't really balance something around people not knowing what it does. Everybody knew that airblasting or shooting a rocket would cancel the taunt, sometimes it was still worth it to do but now you don't even have the option.

I know in MVM if the Medic switches mediguns (from Krits to anything else) the Krit stickies disappear, I wonder if that's how it'll work in the actual game.

If not you still might see pre game krit stickies and then another kritz after the gates open

the biggest threat when mmphing was spies or heavies, now you can just taunt in front of spawn doors and people have to wait ~5 seconds to get out

i also doubt they fixed the bug where you can use the crit flames to immediately build a second charge

The Tough Breakup Date

i'm the happiest medic in the world rn

It's probably going to work exactly like it does in spectator mode; having a disguised spy also outlined and having the outline disappear when he cloaks or undisguises.
